Default Updates for 2/24/08

Thanks for all the cool comments guys!!

Ok guys, I was bitten by the Flu bug and I wasn't able to do much due the my condition. Anyhow - the truck is about 90% completed, the only things left are: making another drive shaft (the 1st one is about 2mm short), lock the diffs, make a new antenna, make some rocksliders for it, then the last thing i'll do is cover the chassis underneath alittle more to protect it from dirt and stuff.

Ok enough talking, here's the pics of the truck so far:











I changed my mind on the roof lights and the front park lights also - it was abit too much wires getting in the way. I'll have a short video clip of it in action when i get those other stuff completed.


Thanks for watching guys!

Thanks guys, I will get a little video of it soon since it runs pretty well now. I'll be getting real mud on it and not painting any on this one.

That's B.A. X! Is that another winch I spy? Or is it just for looks? The paint looks amazing, the whole truck is a masterpiece! Keep up the good work.

Thanks for all the cool comments guys!

I finally finished this truck - I locked the diffs, covered the underneath, painted the inside of the wheel wells, and I added the rocksliders on it aswell.

Here's a few pics of it for now:





I'm uploading a short vid of it so that's gonna be added later today.

Default Finally a VIDEO of this thing!

Ok guys, I finally was able to upload a decent video - for some reason or the other I can't upload it to my youtube or photobucket account - it been giving me an error message for a couple hours now. Anyways, here's a video of it in loose dirt - I got a kinda long one to upload next but it really shows how capable this truck is on an offroad coarse:

http://video.yahoo.com/watch/2118109/6682932


Hope you guys enjoy watching it and Thanks for watching also.

Excellent vid and excellent vid!
My favorite of all time xmod truck!

Question: Does a longer wheelbase improve into rock crawling or shorter wheelbase???

thanks

thanks dude! I think it did help alittle in the sense that It could have crawled over stuff that was about it's own height without out loosing rear or front traction.

Here's another one that I made - I get to show what's under the hood in this one (almost to the end):




Thanks again guys!! I really appreciate all the cool comments and support. Looking foward to starting my next project now!
